What do you even tell your kids these days? "Work hard and you might have enough money to retire when you're in your early nineties, or I guess you could drop out of school and have enough money from youtubing to put a glass dome over your private island to protect from the inevitable firestorms of the coming ecopocalypse."

If you hate bloat you like Slackware. It doesn't assume anything about how you want to use your computer, so it's more painful for a lot of folks. Other distros will try to do things for you and will ultimately end up doing something someone doesn't want. With Slackware you learn a lot and you get a rock-solid system that will do whatever you like, but you have to be willing to manage it.

NM has what you're looking for; cost of living is very low, you can kind of pick the climate you want. We're also blue as a twitter check-mark. We're not super-diverse though; mostly white and Mexican descent depending on where you hang your hat.

I work in IT, I make much more money than I should/need and I work from home in a pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt while barefoot. I would just apply for everything, eventually you're gonna hit someone who isn't hung up on image, and the rest will make your interview skills just that much better.

You WILL actually end up with a boring, white collar job, and you can make a lot more money a hell of a lot easier if you don't get any tattoos from the neck up.

Also, you hate them but you're really good with computers.

This is quality content and why normal social media will perish underneath the inevitable swell of Lemmy.

Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5 inch smoker. I've cooked for 30 people at a time off of it, it's easy to use, holds temp well, lots of mods, etc. etc.

gpupdate /force

I have heard this from every conservative I've talked to about that election.

SLACKWARE!!!!

I hate it when people call the product of a company the name of the company; like "let's go get some Taco Bell" instead of "let's go get some tacos from Taco Bell" or "Let's go eat at Taco Bell".

This is the type of high-quality content I demand from a platform.

Janet - not a girl

"Facts are like hips; they don't care about your feelings"

This is very close to my workplace but we have about 17 domains to work across, with a separate account for each. It's frustrating sometimes, but in the end I get paid the same either way.

I use wger at home and it's waaaay overkill. Designed for the gym part, probably not the whole package

Name your kid Concise

I feel like your good boy and my girl could raise dinosaurs and lamb-chops together. They would be fantastic parents.

Last of the Mohicans homie; there are a few scenes in that one that scorch AND add to the story. It's like it's giving you the reason for fighting an unwinnable battle.

Couldn't explain it, really; I just want to grab the person and explain that Taco Bell (or whatever) is not an object you can get some of, and Taco Bell doesn't sell Taco Bells in any amount, they sell tacos! (In the voice you would speak to a toddler in, of course)

I second Zoneminder, used it at a job way back in the day and it was solid.

God this hits today.

Weber grills and smokers.

Am I just a tech-peasant by using Book Reader? It's not the flashiest but I dig it.

The Splatterhouse series!

My work history is ok; I have solid interview and writing skills, which is more important to most places I think. Mostly because I apply for a lot of things I'm not really qualified for or that pay too little just for the interviews.

Oh HELLS yes, this was the superior reddit app

SLAAAAAAACKWAAAAARE!!!! Slackware is good.

Debian is a nice second.

Right on, another Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated By Mass Amounts Of Filthy Fecal Fisting And Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus fan; not too often you encounter someone with the auditory sophistication to appreciate this relatively niche style of music.

I work from home, and my employer allows up to six weeks from a different country, per country, per year. In theiry, as long as I kept moving every six weeks I could travel constantly.

In reality I have three children, so I get to travel about once a year.

Don't order pizza. We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut while we were down there because it was too windy for grilling at our place and it was the worst pizza I've ever had.

That's an odd way of pronouncing sudo telinit 0

For sure, my company is willing to pay for it, I wouldn't be paying for it myself.

I just don't want to work with windows anymore, and every job I get is windows centric; therefore I get a small amount of linux experience on my resume and the cycle continues. I'm contemplating getting the RHCSA and the RHCSE in order to get linux-centric roles (because although I'm down to take a cut in pay and settle for a junior position, most of the jobs available seem to be for senior or mid-level positions).

I just don't want to be a windows systems engineer anymore, and I'm having trouble getting interviews for linux administration roles.

I'll look into that, thanks!

Not FOSS, but Mega Hit Poker is the one I play.

Not too bad from the accounts I've heard; my wife trained for this before we stopped doing body art. A lot of women get it when their hands shake too badly to apply makeup well.
